I think there are few possible reasons:

  • They want to add as much as they can, so that it attracts to widest possible demographics.
  • They are following Stardew Valley, arguably the game that reinvigorated the genre.
  • Have you played Rune Factory games? From the maker of original Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons? They are pretty fun, and they have combat too, with many different weapons and magics.

That being said, I agree with you, not every game needs to have every single mechanic in it.
